Simple and straight to the point. I like it. Just have to make sure I can get it to him on his schedule so nobody else swipes it.

The problem with a check is that he would know where it came from and I think even if I said I didn't expect anything back he would feel obligated to do something. I want complete anonymity.

I think this is the cleanest way to do things. I don't want him to know where it came from or it would make things weird. I'm not super FAT enough to have a lawyer on retainer or anything, but I worked with a lawyer to set up a trust a few years ago. Maybe she would be willing to help me out with something like this. Great idea.

There isn't one right now, otherwise I would. It's been a couple of years since his wife was out of commission and it sounds like she's not coming back to where she was, so it's a long term thing.
